All those European-iPhone naysayers are sure to love this little tidbit coming out of the UK.
The Financial Times is reporting that “people familiar with the situation” have indicated that O2 UK, Apple’s British iPhone partner, has moved something like 190,000 iPhones out its doors in the first two months of iPhone-sales – which is pretty much on track with O2’s goal of selling 200,000 iPhones in the first 8 weeks of sales.
O2 declined to comment on actual sales numbers, but has said that it is “delighted with the response to the iPhone, which has seen unprecedented levels of customer satisfaction,” adding that the Apple iPhone is O2’s hottest-selling mobile phone “by a significant margin.”
The report comes amid speculation that iPhone sales have been sluggish in the UK. But, this new report seems to fall in line with Ben’s assertion that the iPhone has sparked an upturn in O2’s subscriber-count. We all know that the iPhone lacks in the features department, but that fact actually makes a stronger case for the iPhone’s impact on the global mobile phone market.
Well done, O2. Now, just make sure you snag the 3G iPhone contract, ‘kay?
